The crowdfunding platform behind high-growth campaigns will support Verily’s new approach to audience-backed financing for original, true story content
DALLAS, TX — October 23, 2025 — Verily Storyworks, a storytelling studio dedicated to developing and producing IP rooted in true events, announced today it will launch a new fan investment model for its projects using Republic, a leading SEC and FINRA-registered investment platform that has powered high-growth campaigns and serves a global community of investors. By leveraging Republic’s trusted and regulated crowdfunding infrastructure, Verily is opening the door for fans to directly invest in the stories they want to see on screen and share in their ongoing success.
Through this approach, Verily will use Republic’s reputable investment infrastructure to enable fans to become capital ambassadors for Verily’s projects. The first initiative planned for the platform will be THORPE, a scripted drama series chronicling the extraordinary life and legacy of legendary athlete Jim Thorpe. Supporters will have the opportunity to not just watch the story unfold, but to invest in it from the ground up — becoming active participants in THORPE’s development and future.
“This initiative embodies our commitment to shifting entertainment from passive viewing to active ownership,” said Barry Capece, founder & CEO of Verily Storyworks. “Republic’s deep expertise in community finance and infrastructure enables us to bring audiences into the narrative not just as viewers, but as investors who help shape and share in the success of the stories that inspire them.”
Republic has helped deploy billions of dollars across venture, film, sports and digital assets. By hosting Verily’s upcoming campaign on its platform, Republic is helping to open the doors of entertainment investment to broader audiences, creating a more inclusive, fan-driven approach to storytelling.
Verily’s use of Republic’s platform underscores how audience-backed investment is transforming how true stories are financed, produced and shared, by turning audiences into co-owners of the content they champion. Beyond THORPE, Verily plans to apply this community-backed model across future projects, building a new age of storytelling where cultural impact and fan participation go hand in hand.
